    Thank you

    You should be able to (I'm virtually certain it's possible) If you have the appropriate permissions or property rights in your Vista partition to allow access of the user of Windows7 or users of Windows7.  It's the way it works with XP and Vista and I suspect that it is essentially the same thing here.  You may need to add the users to the Vista partition/folders/files in Windows7 using regardless of their process (it varies probably Vista so I won't bother posting method Vista to do).

    The best thing to do is to follow the advice of Michael Murphy and get help from experts in the Windows7 Forums.

    Hello and welcome to Microsoft Answers. It seems that your computer is infected with malware. The first thing you need to do is re - associate your executable files with applications.

    First

    Click Start > run > type cmd in the Run dialog box, and then press ok. On the line of command prompt type "assoc.exe = exefile" without the quotes. If you are unable to open the applications follow the second below.

    Second

    Right click on start > search. Type rundll32.exe in the field of the files to be searched. Choose to search for your main drive (usually C). Select the search hidden files and folder advanced features. Click on the search button to start the search. In the results list, find the associated rundll32 file C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386. Right-click on rundll32 to the left of the directory above and choose 'open file location '. The rundll32.exe file should be highlighted when the folder opens. Right-click on the file and choose copy. Then, in the search results list, right-click on rundll32 which corresponds to C\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe and choose "open file location". Again the file should be highlighted. Right-click on the file and choose Remove. Right click again in a free space in the folder and choose Paste. If this does not resolve your problem, you will need to get a windows OS disk and extract the file from there.

    Once this problem is solved, you will need to perform several anti-malware analysis. You should start with Malwarebytes. Make sure that you update the parser before the scan.

  • With problems of backup of the files on my Windows Vista computer

    original title: backup of files

    Should I back up my files because my laptop needs to be repaired and my manufacturer says they will delete all my files when they fix it. Can I do it myself with a plug-in or should I have a professional to do? I don't know I can even do that because even if the power led lights up the screen remains white and it beeps constantly.

    Hello

    If the screen remains blank and you have the error beep codes that normally indicate a hardware problem, I suggest you take it to a professional to get your data before handing over to manufacturers of laptop for repair.

    There is information below in this answer as to how you can recover your data if you are comfortable with the process of making

    but it involves opening the laptop

    For your information:

    to ensure that the beep codes mean you need to know what is the bios of your laptop and then read it as the links below average error codes

    http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml

    http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

    Read this on the record of your data:

    as you can not start your machine due to a suspected hardware problem you can use a linux-based cd to recover data when there is a problem with your hardware that a linux cd must still use to operate because it uses your laptop hardware to operate: card mother etc.

    To save the data:

    1 remove the hard drive from the laptop and it slave in another computer

    2 buy or borrow a USB disk drive hard case laptop insert in it, then connect the speaker to another computer

    Use anyway to try to read the data on this portable hard drive from another computer

  • Try to remove a CD image file, get the error message "this action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program.

    I am trying to remove a file from CD image (.img) of my office

    When I try to put it in the bin I get the message

    "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program close the file, and then try again"

    First, I checked the obvious things like if the .img file was mounted in a virtual drive - it isn't so I then used LockHunter to find which application is using the file so I can close by the Task Manager.

    Unfortunately LockHunter told me that the file is used by 'System' - which cannot be closed through the TM.

    Any help?

    The problem is that the program that allows you to mount the image always uses the image.  In my case I used the magical disc. Go to the start menu find the magic disk or folder folder, there should be an option to uninstall the magic disc. I tried UN-installing conrtol add and remove programs but it wouldn't let me. You can also click on computer in Start menu and see if the file you want to remove is always mounted (appears as a CD image). In this case that you can click the eject disc hit.

    I know what it is, and I'm trying to answer it... will keep you posted
    your original question in a forum of Vista.

    OK... you are running XP and your computer has a media player you
    Insert the card in?

    If you go to... Start / my computer... There should be one or more readers
    listed as... Removable Disk... These are the slots of the media player.

    If you right click on the removable disk representative the memory card
    and in the menu... Choose... Properties / Autoplay tab and open the fall

    an action "." Maybe this will restore the AutoPlay window when you insert

    You could also try... on the left by clicking on the button "Restore default settings" / apply / OK.
